She'll swap the hockey for the dance training surely?  

I'm nailing my colours to Natalie and Ian and their partners.

There.  I've called it.

Could be right.. although, I think charleston woman is very competitive (and probably quite good too).   I'd rather she didn't win.  

I like Trishna and Ali thing y too.

They're all nice people Kaffs - just thought I'd mix up the competition going on in my head   I cannot deny that I am no Aliona fan, so she's never on my list.

Gawd, she's enough to put the kibosh on it permanently for him.

Luckily for you, she's probably got the poorest dancer as a partner.

I think Anna's best, followed by Cassidy, then Trishna.        Cassidy FTW.    (anna reminds me of a friend's ex wife so I'm totally holding that unfairly against her...)

Poor Michael; life's bloody rotten at times.

Totally rational and completely understandable, Kaffs  

that's horrendous 

I knew you'd understand 

Jake seems like a really good bloke;  I liked him on Strictly

yeah.. nice bloke. 

Wonder why she made that decision?   

Edit - she's explained now.   How sad.

...and such a lovely woman.  There's something about her that comes across as genuine and warm.  I can see why Ian's a good choice of partner for her.

I'm not interested about YOU, Riley  

Tangoed!

They do look great though, don't they?

Yeah, like proper contestants.  And they really seemed to like the make overs.

Until next Weds then   

Brilliant.    

Off to finish my online shopping order ..  

Oh my word, just watching it now, Tiny Tears

She used to run a dance school. I noticed when there was a discussion about if any of them had danced before she kept v quiet!

good call  

Anton du Beke joins our judging panel for one night only.

The People's Strictly, 9pm BBC One.

Thank you, Missus     

Are we ready??

Toss's eye is particularly wonky tonight.

Yes.

I'm glad you said it first 

You're so reliable 

hello again, Sydders

Riley and Hammond..!  Together.  In the same place.

It's like a nightmare doubled.

Wotcha Syd  

wherever they are, I hope it's reinforced.

On the balcony no less!

Steel girders I'm guessing 

She is fun......

Awww, that was nice.  G'on, girl    Well done 

Aw... I keep welling up at this, even when it's not sad.    I really like that girl - she's so upbeat and I think she looked fab doing that dance.
